Burlington, NCPhoto and info courtesy Richard Weiss

The Paramount Theater is located in Burlington, NC. The lettering on the Paramount seems a little suspicious as it seems too small and far too modern a style for what was probably originally an opera house. 03-08

The Paramount originally opened its doors as The Grand movie palace in December 1928 and changed its name to The Paramount in 1929. The theatre was scheduled for demolition in the 1970's but survived. Today The Paramount is home to a variety of events. For more information, see the Paramount website.
